Inspection Summary: This inspection was announced in order to review selected

deviations the licensee had taken from t.ne General Electric Topical Report

NE00-31331, Emergency Procedure Guidelines", Revision 4 and to determine that

Human Factor principles were utilized in the implementation of those guide-

lines. As a result of the inspection, the inspector also reviewed selected

comparisons of the E0Ps to the inspection findings of Inspection Report No.

50-245/88-200,- conducted June, 1988.

Inspection of the licensee actions in

response to NRC Bulletin No. 88-07 and Supplement 1 pertaining to reactor power

oscillations was also conducted.

_

k

Inspection Results: The inspection identified several unresolved items concern-

.ing the E0Ps (see sections 3 and 4). The items are:

1)

The licensee's technical justification for the licensee's deviation from

the BWR Owner's Group Emergency Procedure Guideline, Revision 4 (accepted

by NRC staff safety evaluation report) were incomplete.

5)

A lack of operator training regarding determination of RPV water level-

during degraded primary containment conditions.

6)

Weak implementation of Human Factor principles.

Overall, the inspection findings of this report as detailed in sections 3 and 4

indicate a weakness in the programmatic approach the licensee has taken to

implement Revision 4 of the Emergency Procedure Guidelines. NRC administered

requalification examinations were conducted concurrently with the inspection.

1he results of the requalification examination indicate operators are able to

use the E0Ps, even though the inspection results indicate weaknesses in the

E0Ps.

The inspector determined that licensee actions in response to NRC Bulletin 88-07 and Supplement I were adequately implemented at Millstone Unit 1.

DETAILS

1.0 Introduction and Overview

1.1 Background

The NRC's Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) conducted a special

safety team inspection on June 13 through 30, 1988 of the Millstone Unit 1

Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs).

The inspection results are contained

in Inspection Report No. 50-245/88-200.

The results of that inspection

were:

1)

The revised verification and validation procedures were not utilized

to perform a complete review of the E0Ps and the operating procedures

referenced by the E0Ps were never verified or validated.

2)

The maintenance of the E0Ps and the Plant Specific Technical Guide-

lines (PSTG) as design basis documents was not adequate.

3)

The basis of the Primary Containment Control Guidelines of the E0Ps

was deficient.

4)

The human factors engineering of the E0Ps was deficient.

5)

The procedural adequacy of the E0Ps was deficient.

6)

Several deficiencies were noted during the E0P simulator

exercises.

The licensee's response to the inspection report is contained in letters

dated July 29,1%8, and October 28, 1988.

In lett2rs dated February 29,

1989, and July 25, 1989, the licensee submitted information concerning

selected deviations that were planned to be taken from the Emergency

Procedure Guidelines (EPG) prepared by the General Electric Boiling Water

Reactors Owners Group (BWJG) on this topic. The licensee subsequently

revised their E0Ps using General Electric Topical Report'NE00-31331

" Emergency Procedure Guidelines" (EPG) Revision 4 and implemented the

revised E0Ps September 1, 1989.

1.2 Purpose

An announced inspection of the Emergency Operating Procedures was

I <

conducted at Millstone Unit I during the week of October 23 - 27, 1989.

The purpose of the inspection was to review selected deviations the

licensee had taken from the General Electric Topical Report NEDO-31331

" Emergency Procedure Guidelines" and determine that Human Factor princi-

pies were utilized in the implementation of the guidelines. The inspec-

tion team in the E0P area consisted of a region based inspector and two

Headquarters based human factors specialists.

,

Also, the licensee's implementation of NRC Bulletin No. 88-07 and Supplement

1 pertaining to power oscillation were also inspected.

6)

Weak implementation of Human Factor principles (Unresolved Item 245/

89-19-06, Section 4).

,

.The inspection findings of this report in areas 2, 3, and 6 above are similar

in nature to those findings identified in Inspection No. 50-245/88-200_(see

paragraph 1.1).

The inspector determined that the licensee's actions in response to NRC Bulle-

tin 88-07 and Supplemert I were adequately implemented at Millstone Unit 1,

3.0 ' Emergency Operating Procedure Review

,

3.1-

Emergency Procedure Guideline (EpG)/ Plant Specific Technical Guideline

(PSTG) Comparison

The inspector reviewed the licensee's justification for the deviations

1

from the General Electric Topical Report NE00-31331, " Emergency Procedure

Guidelines", (EPG) (accepted by NRC staff safety evaluation report),

Revision 4 (EPG). The licensee's justifications for the deviations are

contained in 1-0PS-3.07 (PSTG) dated October 19, 1989, and letters dated-

,

July 25, October 19 and December 27, 1989. As a result of the review of

the' licensee identified deviations ~from the EPGs, the NRC staff identified

that the licensee's technical deviation justifications are incomplete.

The major deviations are:

.

1)'

If there is no injection system operating and the Isolation Condenser

'

(IC) it ot available, emergency RPV depressurizaticn is not initi-

ated untii RPV level reaches 2/3 core height (re: E0P_570 Page 49).

The EPGs specify initiation of emergency RPV depressurization when

RPV level reaches the top of the active fuel (TAF).

'

2)

If one core spray pump is operating, primary containment flooding is

performed only when RPV. level reaches is core height (re: E0P 570-Page

30-31)-

The EPGs specify primary containment flooding when RPV level

<

.

.

reaches TAF.

4

, -

m

a

3:

..

.

7

m

-3)

If there is no injection . system available, an emergency depressuri-

zation to protect primary or secondary containment will not be

performed when a primary or secondary containment parameter exceeds

L

setlimits(re: E0P 570 Page 42-43).

The EPGs specify emergency RPV.

depressurization irrespective of injection system availability when a

,

primary containment parameter exceeds set limits.

. These'particular deviations reflect strategies which deviate from that

previously accepted by NRC staff in their SER of September 12, 1988. When

a decision between a possible loss of adequate core cooling and a loss of

primary containment integrity must be made, the NRC staff's SER in. the

,

Emergency Procedure Guidelines, Revision 4, specifies to preferentially

choose to maintain primary. containment integrity in order to protect

'

against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the general public

from a degraded core condition. As noted above, the M111 store Unit 1 E0P

i

strategy does not preferentially choose' to maintain primary containment

J

integrity before adequate core cooling.

,

1

Further, the NRC staff SER on the EPGs specify that primary containment

flooding be initiated if reactor level cannot be maintained above TAF

because adequate core cooling cannot be guaranteed.

The Millstone Unit 1

initiation of primary containment flooding is similarly defined when

adequate core cooling cannot be maintained. However, M111 stone's defini-

4

c

tion of. adequate core cooling has an optional definition in addition to

the above TAF specification namely,. above one-half core height with a core

spray pump operating.

.

The technical justifications for the licensee's deviations from the EPG

were incomplete. In a telephone conference call on October 25, 1989, with.

the licensee, .the NRC staff determined that additional regulatory review

is warranted.

The NRC staff review of the licensee's justification of

EPG/PSTG differences is an unresolved-item (245/89-19-01).

3.2 E0P Administration

l

The inspector determined that OP-264 E0P Administration requires-that all

E0P changes.be Plant Operation Review Committee (p0RC)~ approved prior to

. implementation. . The 590 series procedures (supplemental procedures)

contain procedure steps to implement necessary emergency actions of the

E0Ps. The supplemental ~ orocedures are administrative 1y controlled as

operating. procedures and do not require PORC approval of changes prior to

implementation.

[

The licensee agreed to review'the inspector's- finding in this area and

~'

modify the administrative program control of the supplemental procedures.

The inconsistent application of administrative controls to the 590 series

(supplemental procedures) is an unresolved item (245/89-19-02).

-3.3_.Procedura1 Deficiencies

The. inspector identified several deficiencies with respect to the E0Ps.

'

The deficiencies deal with a procedure referencing error and poor plant

labeling -

_EOP 575 (Pg. 49) Step FS0-5.1 references ATWS Logic Trip Bypassing as

-

590.21. The correct procedure reference is 590.22

590.21 " Defeating RPS Logic Trips"- The fuse numbers as identified

-

-

in the procedure must be converted to the appropriate terminal. strip

and fuse number using an unapproved operator aid located inside

control room panels CRP 915 and CRP 917.

590.22 " Defeating ATWS Logic Trips"- The procedure requires the four

-

inverter power' supply breakers to be opened. Two of the breakers-

have positions indicated as-open and close, two breakers on and off.

,

590.23 " Containment Vent Procedure"- The procedure _contains equipment'

-

nomenclature that differs from the nomenclature of the control room

boards.

These deficiencies were similar in nature to those identified in Inspec-

tion' Report No. 50-245/88-200 and appeared to be the result of a weak

validation and verification of the E0P revisions.

The licensee agreed to

review and modify the plant labeling'as required to address the above

findings. The resolution of these deficiencies is an unresolved item

(245/89-19-03).

,

4

Further, the inspector identified an area of weakness of the E0Ps in that

some entry conditions from monitored and possibly unmonitored radiation-

.

release points are absent from the E0Ps.

Specifically, an Isolation

Condenser tube leak and possible radiation release is not an entry condi-

f

,

tion into the E0Ps from a monitored release point. .The release point is

i

L

listed on Table H-1, On Site Assessment Equipment in the. Millstone Unit 1

,

Emergency Plan.

The release point is monitored by ARM Station 35, Isola-

I

tion Condenser Vent Line.

Verbal reports from outside the control room-

i

announcing a radiation release beyond the secondary containment are not an

i

entry condition into the E0Ps from a possible unmonitored release pathway.

!

The EPG (as accepted by NRC staff SER) _ specifies an E0P entry condition

T

The licensee agreed to review and modify the E0Ps as necessary to address

this finding. The lack of entry conditions into the E0Ps is-an unresolved

item (245/89-19-04).

Also, the inspector identified that the E0Ps do not specifically direct

the operators to make a determination that reactor water level is unknown

when drywell bulk temperature and reactor pressure exceed the graphs in

accordance with' Caution #1 of the EPGs or the licensees deviation document.

However, at Millstone Unit 1, the operators are instructed that there is a

s

time period for the RPV water level instrument reference legs to reach

~

saturation conditions and this may be considered in their determination of

l

reactor water level indication thereby delaying reactor vessel flooding.

The time period is not-specifically

4.0 Human Factors' Review of the Emergency Operating Procedures

J

!

4.1 Introduction

1

.A number of concerns related to the continuing control of Millstone Unit 1

l

E0Ps were' identified.

Some of these issues reflect concerns previously

identified in Inspection Report No. 50-245/88-200, and the SER for the

I

-

Millstone Unit 1 Procedures Generation Package, dated September 24, 1984.

I

These areas of concern are addressed below.

- 4.2 Writers Guide

i

In order to prepare clear, consistent E0Ps that will support operator

l

performance and-minimize errors, a complete and restrictive writers guide

!

-is'necessary. Writers guides that are incomplete and nonrestrictive leave

format decisions to the writer's judgement and preference. Because indi-

,

i

vidual writer's judgements vary, this will result in increasingly in-

i

'"~

' consistent and complex procedures over time.

i

The Millstone Unit 1 E0P writers guide lecks direction on a number of

aspects of the E0Ps.

For example:

~1

Transitions between procedures are not addressed.

This issue was

-

previously identified by both the 1984 SER and the 1988 Inspection-

Report'.

The format for the "when, then" logic step and symbol are not

addrused in the writer's guide.

LTheuseofasemi-colonisnotaddressedinthewritersguide,

-

. although this form of punctuation is commonly used in the E0Ps.

,

The guidance provided in the writers guide on the following items is not

sufficient to ensure consistent structure:

>

Typestyle and typesize are not defined. They are merely described

-

as " simple, easy to read."

!

The format for figures, tables, and graphs is not described, and.

-

examples are not provided. This issue was previously identified by

both the 1984 SER and 1988 Inspection Report.

Highlighting and emphasis methods are not adequately described. The

-

guidance. indicates that these methods are to be used "where appro-

priate." This issue was previously identified by the 1988 Inspection

Report.

The format for entry conditions is not defined.

The only guidance

-

is that entry conditions are to be formatted consistently, but no

example or guidance is-included.

This issue was previously;identi-

,

fied in the 1988 Inspection Report.

The E0P writers guide reflects a lack of application of human factors

principles.

For example:

The format principles.used for E0Ps differ from that applied to E0P-

-

Supplemental Procedures (590 series),-although these procedures are

.,

.used.in= conjunction with E0Ps.

1

4.3 . Verification and Validation'

5

AL thorough verification and validation of EOPs ensures that the technical

and format bases documents (PSTG and writers-guide) have been applied; to

ensure that.the procedures-. correspond to plant nomenclature and equipment;

and to ensure that the procedures are usable and can be performed.

Several concerns were identified with the verification and validation

' procedures for E0Ps and 09? Supplemental Procedures.(590s), and with the

implementation of these procedures. The concerns are'as follows:

'

,

-4.4 ~ Ongoing Maintenance and Revision Of Procedures

After the use of adequate bases documents is checked through verification

and validation, continuing integrity of the procedures is assured through

a complete maintenance and revision program.

The following concerns were

,

'V'

identified with the E0P program in this area:

No method exists for ensuring that changes to procedures referenced

--

by E0Psaor E0P supplemental procedures are reflected in the E0Ps and

E0P supplemental procedures.

'No method exists to ensure that changes ~ to operator aids are reflected

-

in the.EOPs or E0P supplemental procedures.

Operator aids that are necessary for execution of E0P Supplemental.

,

Procedures are not the responsibility of the E0P program staff; and,

therefore, the information in those aids is not subject to the same

-

presentation and control as the E0Ps or E0P Supplemental Procedures.

The licensee agreed to review the human factors concerns resulting from

the inspection.

The human factor concerns addressed in sections 4.2 to

4.4-are collectively considered an unresolved item (245/89-19-06).

5;0 E0P Summary

The inspection findings of~this report as detailed in sections 3 and 4

indicate a weakness in the-programmatic approach the licensee has taken to

implement Revision 4 of the Emergency Procedure Guidelines. The technical

deviations from the BWROG EPG appear to be incompletely evaluated in the

licensee's deviation document to justify differences between the EPG and

PSTG document. . Further, some of the deficiencies noted in this inspection,

~

?especially in the area of human factors appear to be repetitive of previous

inspection findings in the E0P area.

NRC administered requalification

examinations were conducted concurrently with the inspection. The results

,

of the requalification examination indicate that operators are able to

)(,

. effectively use the E0Ps even though the inspection results indicate

weaknesses in the licensee's E0P program,

BWR Power Oscillations (NRC Temporary Irstruction 2515/99)

' An inspection was conducted to' evaluate the licensee's implementation of

NRC Bulletin (NRCB) 88-07 and Supplement 1 to this bulletin. The.11cen-

see's responses to NRCB 88-07 and supplement 1 are contained in letters

A07301 dated September 14, 1988; B13076 dated November 14, 1988; and

A07742 dated February 28, 1989.

6.1 Training.

The inspector reviewed lesson plans for operator training and determined

that the training material properly addressed the power oscillation issue

as requested by NRCB 88-07 and Supplement 1.

Training was conducted for

all licensed operators, including shift technical advisors, in a timely

fashion.

Individual operator interviews were not conducted as the NRC requalifica-

tion examinations were conducted concurrently with the inspection. The

results.of the NRC administered requalification examination indicated that

this training was effective.

6.2 Procedural Implementation

The' inspector reviewed the documentation of the procedural assessment

conducted by the licensee to incorporate NRCB 88-07 and Supplement 1.
